Intro to Immunology
There would be pathogen reactive IgG in the blood, but not much IgM.
If a person has previously received a vaccine to a particular disease and currently is not infected with it, what pattern of antibodies would we expect to see in their blood serum?
Cells that arise from a lymphoid progenitor cell, for example, B cells and natural killer cells
What cells are classed as lymphocytes?
Self-reactive antibodies could enhance the speed of wound healing by recognizing damaged cells and help remove them.
What is NOT a likely outcome of a strongly self-reactive B cell being released into circulation?
It's a primary lymphatic organ where T cell maturation happens.
What is the main role of the thymus gland?
B cells attack invaders outside of the cell, T cells attack infected cells.
What is the major functional difference between B cells and T cells?
Phagocytosis
What is the primary mode by which macrophage engulfs pathogens?
The person would become more likely to get infections as their capacity to activate immune cells would be reduced.
What would happen if an otherwise healthy person had to have their spleen removed after an accident?
Bone marrow
Where do B cells mature?
Bone marrow
Where do our lymphocyte cells originate from?
Bone marrow
Where do our myeloid lineage cells originate from?
Lymph nodes
Where does peripheral tolerance take place?
Performing phagocytosis of pathogens.
Which of these is not an important role that antibodies carry out themselves?
The innate response is triggered non-specifically where adaptive immune responses are highly specific to the triggering pathogen.
Which of these statements best describes the difference between adaptive and innate immune responses?
The thymus
Which organ do T cell migrate to for maturation?
